My tailgate has been bouncing for a while when i hit bumps and its getting annoying. When the tailgate is closed i can lift it up a little bit on the passenger side. I think im missing a part that goes inside of the round part that holds the tailgate on. if anybody knows where i can buy one besides a junk yard that would be great.

 

Dealership

there should be one on either side and there are nylon shims that go behind them to center the tailgate

 

Would you happen to know what its called or have a part number?

 

no i can try to get it tomorrow...just go look at the exploded view of the tailgate

 

ok thanks. where do i get an exploded view of the tailgate?

 

The dealership can show you one on their computer...it will have the part numbers listed as well

 

ahh ok. thats what i was thinking you meant.

 

LMC Truck also has it:

Thumbs up for this guy ^^ the shims and everything! good deal!

 

Thanks a lot man!

 

Just to be sure i need #20 and #21 right?

 

No problem. And yes, your going to want 20 and 21. For the extra nine bucks it wouldn't hurt to get number 19 too, just so both sides are new.

 

i have the same issue but it doesn't bother me....until I'm not paying attention and half the tail gate falls out.

 

itd be about 50% cheaper at a JY

 

Yea i had it bounc out one time because it wasnt latched good. but i mostly drive on county blacktops and gravel roads with it and its constantly bouncing.

Yea it doesn't bother me to much

 

I think i found the right thing on rock auto for a lot cheeper. its dorman part number 38641 the cables are about half price there too.

 

I put the rock auto kit on today. it seemed like a pretty cheep kit. all the parts didnt fit like i thought they should and i pretty much ruined part of it. it didnt come with nylon spacers so i just used 1.25" fender washers. but it dosent bounce anymore so thats a plus.
